@themightyant also, like real life, no matter how much you see and do, there is the fact that you only 'see and do' 0.0000000etc0001% of what there is to see and do.
It is a peaceful game, for me anyway, almost zen like, where you just accept that you can't see/do it all, but have to accept what you have seen, and try to be thankful for it.
Strange for a game to evoke such thoughts.
No 100% platinum here, not really.

Good thinking, MS will be profiting from sales of games and dlc on competing platforms. Win win

I must be missing something, what am I looking at? Doing the Xbox symbol - what?
Edit:
Oh I see now I was looking at the very first picture at the top of the story like an idiot, no hold on, surely the first picture should have been the Xbox symbol and not one of the guy looking at his phone

Even though I love 60fps, Always tempted by RT, I tend to stick with 30&RT, as you i) get a solid 30 unlike the old days of trying to maintain that 30 and ii) input lag - big improvements have been made this gen in the input pipeline to reduce lag from eg controller to 'GPU' (!) So that 30fps isn't as bad as it was.
(Search for input lag in next gen to find some stats saying it is half as much as last gen)
BTW, wonder if the RT supports VVR to go higher when it can (if that does not contradict (i) above !)

Wow just came in to comment I was excited by this, and some people are getting so... tense!
Thought I'd logged into eu##gam## by accident.
Let's keep it nice, please
(Half expecting a 'Who do you think you are, my mother?' reply...)

Merry Christmas everyone, I haven't posted as much this year, but nice to see some old faces popping up every so often

Psychonauts 2

Welcome to the party, everyone!

Can't believe I got pre-order at local Game at 3pm! Arrives Jan 22, before Christmas would have been nice, but ok, I can wait that long.
Worth the money for the novelty value, and enough space for snacks and cans for the man cave. Looks great

Had hoped to find no man's sky on here, just replaying it on xsx 4k etc, and inventory management is good, no issues, but would be better with kbm.
Ah well

Pretty much same here - spent about 2-hours trying to get the last figment, didn't help that some out of reach objects looked like figments!
Good they updated it though, let's hope they're now concentrating on on part 3... (Is it even announced yet?)

Craig probably has had more coverage than the average, untalented, reality TV star, especially with this makeover.
Rightly so.

Quite happy with 4k Samsung 55"...
would love 55/65/75", 120hz, 3 x 2.1, Dolby vision, Dolby audio, but then, I'd also like to win the lottery

@Xenomorph_79 Monetisation of Monopoly !?

Agreed, Avengers put me off this title, thought it was the same Devs, same gameplay mechanic, etc. Glad to hear it's not!
But Deux Ex team? Wow, great news ! It would nearly make you feel like pre ordering it lol

I'll wait for the sale, too pricey

Likely a 512gb for me, depending on UK price
That'll be enough to keep me ticking over and make me feel I've done enough without paying too much (hopefully 99 gbp?)

@ChrisMcC7 i've only recently started using the local Game which is now a concession inside sports direct in the uk.
I have a few pre orders there and honestly, feel like cancelling then, spending the credit I have on reward card and using Argos or Tesco in future.

Very annoyed my local game started their 3 preorders at 9 a.m.
Would anyone have a link to the official Twitter UK account that said 2 p.m. please? I've tried hard to find it

@Halucigens couldn't have put it better myself, always loved the graphics, and the idea, but, boys, the gameplay !

Hang on!
It only holds 12 cans?
What happens when that gets full?
I'll have to decide what cans I'm keeping, that I need, and then decide about the another ones that I just need to use up and get rid of!
I know you're gonna say that I have to be more organised, but still.
Is there an expansion slot?
Will Seagate get the exclusive for the overpriced expansion to hold an extra 6 cans?

I'll queue up for this! Cannot believe the price, thought they were really going to stick the oar in

When the news first broke that you could get an adaptor and a card a few weeks ago I started investigating and this story kicked that off again.
From what I can tell both times, at £30 for the adaptor, and managing find the exact spec and the physical size of card to fit in the adaptor, might as well just buy the official card.
Nearly I've done my maths wrong or wasn't looking at the correct shopping sites, but to me it really just is not worth it.
The new 512gb will be the option for me in a several months time, until then my 480gb SSD connected is working just fine

Tag line "and some fans aren't happy" should be added as a tag line to every single story. That's just the internet these days!
As for the voice-over, I think the first suggestion was a good one - that if he only announces the medals it would be good for the fans, I mean why not?
I'm saying that I don't actually play halo multiplayer

No option for never played any...

It's the lack of effort that gets me. I always count far cry, assassin's creed and just cause as my fav go to games
When the rest of the world seems to be all about about CoD, BF and FIFA every year, I always defend my franchises, and with money, support them, to the hilt, but this lack of OPTIONS eg 1080, 30fps, RT has really, REALLY, got my goat

@SplooshDmg, what I came on here to say ! I even I think I'd rather play a 1080 30fps with RT

What I can't understand is that with dynamic scaling can't they just let the frame rate drop to a minimum of 1080, maybe a maximum of 1800 (so there isn't that dramatical a changed between resolution), keep Ray tracing even at 60fps

I'm simplifying a lot, but would have imagined that Ray tracing was an on off switch? (I think pc games have that sort of thing) And wouldn't dynamic resolution be a Min Max slider anyway, one which the developer would have access to?

Happy to hear about the Outcast 2, loved the original, definitely remember the voxel graphics!
I think the original game was head of its time - wasn't it a big open world, lots of tasks and rescuing?
So much so that I was pretty much overwhelmed and and never truly got into the whole game.
I think I'll have a go at the remaster that was out a few years ago

Having finished Psychonauts 2, I'll be swapping between watchdog legions on PS5 and life is strange true colours on the PC

Well the double tap is a lot easier to remember, I would forget what action was supposed to swap to which device

I am always glad to hear about another Microsoft acquisition but this story isn't it

Was always Eternal Darkness for me, blew my mind. Thought about getting 2nd hand GC just for this. Remaster please!

My ext 480gb SSD is speedy for transfers so I'll pass. Also tend to play 1 solo game at a time until it's done, then delete and move on.

Because everyone else's comments were so long, I thought I'd post this, which says nothing...

Bit hopeless at 'proper' racers, best ever for me was Burnout Revenge. I'm really like the thought of this though, think it is pitched really well, and would suit a wide array usual audience, well done.

Lot to choose from, but I'll say Witcher 3 is the one I've waited to play on next gen

They aren't going to sell these are a loss, so they need to keep making these for a long time, they will all sell.
That would stop most people paying silly money on the internet and scalpers (as you would wait for one, unlike a console needed yesterday!)
Need an RRP for this asap, Microsoft

@blinx01 i get your point, but maybe this is to stop limited time player (like me!) from having to grind lots of matches just to get XP?
Get XP in short bursts is what I'm thinking

I don't think I mind this, but not an online player, so I suppose I shouldn't comment...
Mind you, maybe I'm NOT an online player BECAUSE of the traditional xp per match setup, and this new arrangement will be BETTER for me, especially the info @StevenDTM gave

@themightyant
I'd say it's concept art that asset designers use to create the world. Enough content to let me decide Neon.
I'm imagining the ray tracing and HDR on that baby! Lol

@fraserg We need a vote option on this topic

Loved the SW games, they were always so well balanced and we'll paced - that developer experience will go a long way in whatever genre they go to

Just happy to see the long game coming to fruition, even if no big new or reveals.
It'll be nice to see updates.
In Phil, we trust.

Can't help feeling that, well, 2k did let everyone down, fans and WWE both. If they mess up again, then, yeah, the contract has to change to protect the brand, it's only logical.

Really must try p1 asap

Will try to do both

I could go back to origins, np, but this is still to recent for me, sunk 240+ hours into it! And 195 into Valhalla.

No problems with wired, playe a LOT with the PowerA, which has 2 programmable buttons at rear
NEARLY bought these, as I thought it was the one with 3d Atmos license as part of the package, but realised it wasn't
In the end, got the wireless 3d and STILL have to buy Atmos licence...
This would be a great story, but isn't, as addicted to ps5 immortals fynex rising (35% complete), so won't be buying game pass ultimate for a few weeks or more...

Yep, all 1st party console exclusives (orbidden west) on ps5, can everything else XSX, plus game pass ultimate
Sony won't make money up from console loss from me
This sort of tech will come into its own when vrr is more popular just like hd, uhd, Blu-ray, etc

I'm s sucker for RT, so 30fps, count me in
